TBH until very recently with the apple M1 archtecture CPU perf peaked about 7 years ago and laptops never really had a good GPU story. Improvements have been fairly incremental since then. Yes lower nm processes reduce energy usage, but we are even starting to approach a wall with that too now.
Personal laptops and desktops have become things you replace at car intervals now. And phones are starting to approach that too.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoM1 is just a continuation of the same, it’s just fanless, cooler, less energy usage and optimized for a few types of uses (very useful for web). CPUs really haven’t had a jump since sandy/ivy bridge, and GPUs got much better with the nvidia models in 2016, but it didn’t show up in the real world as much as it did in running machine learning algorithms. Gaming laptops existed with good if overly hot and expensive GPUs.
